One fan said of this eBook, "Gail, you are so good at making intellectual connections, recognizing patterns and seeing and being open to possibilities. I'm always struck by the apparent ease with which you create simple and powerful exercises - elegant, strength-based solutions that help people address their challenges. I'm certified to administer and interpret two EI instruments, and though I like the insights they offer, the support material addressing the "so now what?" question has, in my opinion, been lacking. Your exercises move the issue from an intellectual concept to real life examples that people can grab onto and do something with." Candace Thompson, PCC

These materials were shared at a workshop on how to leverage and boost emotional intelligence at work for the Association Forum. In just one hour, the 45 association professionals in the room experienced first-hand a before-and-after review of one of their own challenging, conflict situations. They learned new approaches by using emotional intelligence tools and skills. Now you can learn to make your work relationships better and even more fun, too.

As one participant said about this training and knowledge, "Gail shares herself with the group in a very clear manner. Great vibe!" "I will incorporate into my daily life, personal and professional [the practical tips]. I will listen better, not take things personally, not act in fear. I'll be clear about what I want, take responsibility, and discuss issues using EQ (emotional intelligence)." Mary T. Markovich

When your cell phone stops working or your computer freezes, you turn to the owner's manual, or an expert, for help. Right?

How well do you understand the care and feeding of YOUR equipment... YOU?! Wouldn't it be nice if, when we were born, we had an owner's manual attached at the end of our umbilical cord? You could hand it to people you work with, date, marry, and interact with and they would know how to get the most out of a relationship with you!

The good news is you can write your own manual! The key to greater happiness is to listen to the special programming of your built-in GPS and your operating system. Self-awareness and managing your energy at the P.I.E.S.* level will guide you to thoughts, emotions, choices, actions and results that make you happier and healthier! (*Physical, Intellectual,
Emotional, Spiritual)

Here is a simple, yet thought-provoking, tool that will guide you to a new level of understanding about how your equipment operates, warning signs of a problem, trouble shooting tips and ways to avoid energy drains and replenish energy levels when needed.

Emotional intelligence is like a built-in GPS (Global Positioning System). It
advises you when you veer off course, suggests U-turns, and guides you to the
one, true destination we all share.... happiness!

Your emotions are a tool that was factory-installed at birth. You rarely hear
about emotions in the workplace and yet they are behind every decision we make.
Think of the times you said “yes” when you meant “no” or acted out of integrity
for fear of judgment from your boss or competition you perceived exists with
co-workers or in job search.

What if I told you that you can improve the way
you lead yourself and others by recognizing and paying attention to the signals
your emotional guidance system is sending? Read on for some good news and a free ebook.

Thanks goes to David
Wainwright for sharing this article with me and other executives in job
search. This describes the science behind visualizing your desires and the
power of planting suggestions, like goals, in your subconscious. What are goals
do you have for your career? Your life? Start with the simple goal of
happiness and set your built-in
GPS, your emotions, to HAPPINESS!

THE RETICULAR ACTIVATOR is a part of the brain the stays on alert. It's job
is to make you notice some things and ignore other things (if you noticed
everything, you'd be too distracted to function). When you buy a new VW,
it seems like the whole world has bought VWs, because you notice them
everywhere. That's the reticular activator at work.

Motivational speakers, business consultants, and authors of "success books"
always stress the importance of having a clear goal. One of the reasons goals
are so important is because they activate your reticular activator.
